Honored coach of the USSR in volleyball Nicolas Karpol told that the former head coach of the Russian men’s team Vladimir Alekno everything will work out in St. Petersburg “Zenith” .
On Friday, Zenit announced the appointment of Alekno as head coach; the contract with the 57-year-old specialist is for two years.
— He is a very good specialist, I expect successful performances from him at Zenit. I think Alekno was written off early. He is a young coach, he still has a lot of time to enjoy volleyball and succeed. Alekno took a break from all stress and returned to volleyball – he did everything right. I’m sure everything will be fine for him at Zenit,” Karpol told .
Alekno led the Russian national team three times and spent most of his coaching career at Zenit Kazan. Alekno’s last job was with the Iranian national team. In August 2021, the specialist took a break from his career.
Zenit St. Petersburg took sixth place in the Russian Championship last season.
